Flamingo Road Corridor Improvement Project Information

Flamingo Rd. is a major east-to-west arterial street that connects extensive existing and planned commercial and residential development directly to the heart of the Resort Corridor and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. The combination of large residential populations at the ends of Flamingo Road and concentrated employment at the center generates substantial commuter traffic on Flamingo Road. The existing transit line on the corridor has more than 12,000 passenger boardings daily, making it the most used residential route in the RTC’s transit system. In addition, Flamingo Road includes connections to all major north-south transportation and transit corridors for the 2 million residents of the Las Vegas valley.

Bus will operate in regular traffic lanes from Grand Canyon Drive to Rainbow Boulevard, from Arville Street to Koval Lane and from Boulder Highway to Jimmy Durante Boulevard

Open House Meeting Displays

Public meetings were held in April 2014 and February 2015 and public comments were recorded at the meetings, over the phone, by U.S. Postal Service. and e-mail. The comments were then considered in discussions with affected landowners about which combination of proposed improvements should be implemented.

During the month of April the RTC held several mobile public meetings to provide the public with an opportunity to learn more about the project which includes upgraded pedestrian crossings, new transit shelters, dedicated bus and bike lanes along Flamingo Rd. There were several dates and times that were available to the public as shown below.
